        it explains so much. physically, his speech patterns, the childishness, forgetting things. he's a mess. -- nm - colin Apr 24, 10:39 3

        the "excuse me' talk over stops the line of questioning, and then YOU are nasty, terrible, a liar is his escape, he's no jessup -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 24, 10:48 1

I'm missing something on "testing". If I get tested for the virus, and I don't have it, what good is it if I go to Target and possibly pick it up from - zunkskunk Apr 24, 09:41 8
- That kind of testing isn't going to help us reopen. It needs to be the "did I already have it?" testing (especially due to the asymptomatics) but - oblique Apr 24, 11:09
